Newton's Nook Designs March Release Day 1

Monday, March 12, 2018

Hello, lovelies!

Wow! It's time for the Newton's Nook Designs March Release already!

All the new products will be available for purchase this Friday the 16th in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop ;-) Today is the first day of the reveal and we're showcasing the Holding Happiness set along with the coordinating die set, PLUS Bubbly and Confetti Stencils!

Oh my goodness!

Aren't these girls just so fun and adorable!?

This set could be used for so many different occasions, too!

Both of these are super fun and super versatile, so many possibilities 💗

Alright, here are my takes ;-)

Did you all enjoy our collaboration blog hop with Therm-O-Web last week!?

They gave us so much stuff, I just had to foil my cards💗

I have a board where I pin all the beautiful wedding cakes on Pinterest, and this cake is just like one of them! All white with real flowers, simple but absolutely gorgeous 💜 This lovely image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Artist Marker Paper (so smooth!) and colored with Chameleon Markers, then die cut with the coordinating die. I also added a single flower to the bottom tier.

This sentiment is actually on top of each other but I separated them to fit on this skinny banner. I wanted this card for any occasions, so this was just perfect ;-)

I am absolutely in LOVE with the Bubbly Stencil 💗

I applied the Transfer Gel from Therm-O-Web, let it dry, then ran it through the laminator with this super sparkle Silver Shattered Deco Foil. I just adore how it reflects different colors, so pretty 💙💛💜

My second card with the Holding Happiness Set is a super fun birthday card!

Wouldn't you LOVE it if someone showed up at your door with a bunch of balloons and confetti like this!!?

Just like my first girl with the cake, she was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Artist Marker Paper and colored with Chameleon Markers. Coloring all those balloons was a blast! I actually colored her skin dark but all the bright lights and tweaking the photos made it lighter :-( I think yellow looks absolutely gorgeous on a dark skin 💛 I can't wear any shades of yellow with my skin tone {BOO} 😞

I heat embossed this super fun sentiment with black embossing powder on vellum and fussy cut it. I didn't want to heat emboss directly on the front panel because I had this little tear where the sentiment is, so this is working as a little band-aid ;-)

For this background, I did the same process as the first card. But to kind of match the balloons, I used 3 different colors ;-) I used this black and white striped washi tape to tone down the very bright shiny confetti ;-)

Both cards are awesome! I love how you used the same layout and changed it up slightly. The first card would be perfect for a wedding or shower with the silver sparkles! The second one would be an amazing birthday card! Love them both! -Jen {Newton's Nook Designs}

The foiling works so well with those stencils; everyone needs some birthday bling! and I love your coloring on your ladies, both the subtlety of the cake and the brightness of the balloons. Thanks for sharing!
